Sometime in May or June, as winter descends in the southern hemisphere, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in the Chilean Atacama desert is set to unveil its dome and initiate a groundbreaking chapter in astronomical observation. Equipped with the largest digital camera ever created, the observatory aims to capture its first science-grade image of the cosmos as part of a 10-year mission known as the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST).
After 24 years of development, the Rubin Observatory represents a significant advancement in the field of astronomy, promising to deliver unprecedented insights into the universe.
